In loving memory of Michael Jackson -
Forever King of popular music - May God rest your soul in heaven 1958 - 2009This exact time, just a night before, Michael Jackson would've been asleep in his new home in Los Angeles, but tonight he sleeps in LA coroners office - and then eventually the predicament.
Just a few minutes, hours, at times, can make all the difference in the world. When cancer survivors live 5 years longer then expected, they treat every single day as an entire years blessing bestowed upon them. What could another few weeks would've meant for Michael Jackson, the king of pop, now asleep, forever.
All I can hear now is his music and words. Duplicados people giving long sound bites about who he was when even till a day before yesterday, no one even cared talking about him. His doctors, promoters, the main stream media, the tabloids, us and them, collectively killed him or others can dwell in the notion that maybe he did it to himself, and maybe he did, that's why he took those pain killers to get out of his own pain and it was one simple over dose that went beyond control. However life sees it, now all that remains, is the voice, the words, the songs and what death ultimately proves as the only accountable factor, the deeds.
We spend our lives arguing about other peoples lives, talking about whats right and whats wrong, trying to always prove a point while raising our voices, yet always ignoring the real reason why everyone is here, which is to do the right thing despite what people say. We try to convince each other in things that we believe in or lines that we should follow, when on the contrary, we should be allowing others to live their lives in peace and be "That" someone whom you can talk to, face to face, with no inhibitions at all. When was the last time you truly, seriously opened up to someone? The image building concepts that fueled the 21st century rat-race in the irrational hunt for materialism are the same concepts that will bring this century down. Like they have done in the past.
But do you trust the intentions of those who surround you? If not, then test it and don't hesitate to change. If you do trust, then make the best of what you've found, before complacency kicks in and you take it all for granted, only to fall in pieces.
Even though you might never be able to smell a rose again, but death, in a way, is good for man kind, it renews the best of him.
But human kind is always curious to rock another humans boat, or even of the animal kind. We are the only known specie that madly run after another mammals milk.
Get a life, don't let individuals or corporations and mental limitations take it away from you, focus, trust and work to carve it right, Let God be the judge.
But the lust for money, especially the kind that can easily be sucked out of someone else, has been a top priority for humanity. Always trying to find out what the other person is doing or thinking, shouldn't we be concentrating on our actions, feeling and imagining the impact of your own actions on others. All it takes is a few seconds.
One tiny stone when I toss in the lake, a thousand more ripples it makes.
Even though I always wanted to interview him but he was one of those people you thought will always be there. But that's like chasing a mortals shadow dream.
Among many - Michael Jackson - suffice to say, opened my eyes to all the glory that surrounds us, in everyday life, I found myself dancing and jiving to his songs when other kids were busy wasting time standing on Karachi street corners, and then, in the lapse of an eye blink, he just caught on like wild fire. And pretty much in the same manner he left, a blink of an eye, that's all that it takes. And somewhere in between lies the worth.
Where were all these people before? All those who are spewing their hate or showering love thoughts, why are they all so interested now, because he’s not here to neither defend nor respond to the critiques and the arguments?. What a shame… the world media and the so called fans as well because despite the fact that he’s gone, no matter what people say, he will live on.
Michael changed the way youth of this century live their lives, some for the good some for the better, and some, even for the worse.
So many found direction or realized that, hang on a second, I can follow my own individual calling, no matter what it is, and possibly enjoy all the fruits of that wisdom.
But it's like holding a knife... are you going to cut your own predictable and superficial cliches with it or are you going to use it to harm someone else?
Just "beat it".
